沒錯,所以最後還是選擇用IDE硬碟,買一個大容量的來跑,反正P2P的東西也不算什麼重要資料,掛了重抓就好了...

我的另一考量即是，不想讓 os 因 hdd 掛而一起掛
所以重要資料除了備份外(誰說備份到 dvdr、cdr 一定百分百安全的)
另以後就算升級電腦， hdd + scsi 卡裝到新電腦，連重灌都不用即可用(xp 賤呀)

一天了不起下載個 14G ，現在 2M 差不多可以衝破 20G
所以每天只好勤點做搬移、整理動作了

適度的維護 IDE HDD(不要 24HR 讓他讀寫) ，讓 SCSI HDD 得以發揮所長
這不是很好嗎？

說真的，這樣 C/P 的確是超不值就是了.....

大大說的有理 不過scsi需要點本錢
小弟想的和您一樣 不過愛遇經費還是要用IDE苦撐
不過您的想法小弟+1

I just verified the performance among below HDD conditions, may it help you to do choice.

In my Intel P4P800 system, there is a Ultra ATA controller, a SATA150 controller, and a LSI SCSI card. The HDD were run in below mode.
ATA -> Ultra DMA 5.
SATA -> SATA 150
SCSI -> U320.
SCSI -> U160.

Under the test of Intel IOmeter, I got the transfer rate as following.

ATA HDD - 83MB/S
SATA HDD - 103MB/S
U160 HDD - 95MB/S
U320 HDD - 172MB/S

Currently, SCSI U320 run fastest. then SATA. But the SCSI card must be plug into PCI-X slot. If your mother board did not have those slot. Then you could choose SATA solution.

I also run the test on U320 with RAID 1, the performance is very bad. But SCSI's RAID function is still much better than SATA's.

I did not recommend you set RAID0 for your HDD for reliability reason. It's not safe.

插嘴一下:D
從上看到下,似乎都只有提到IDE HD損壞所帶來的問題,但是沒有人提到若SCSI HD
葛了?好吧,小弟運氣就是那麼雖,當初第一次買SCSI HD用不到三個月就死了,差點
拿HD去砸店:D:D,當然是換一顆未拆封的給我了.至於IDE HD,目前手上有在用的
HD也有1x顆,也是有1顆用不到幾個月就死了:D
所以個人是覺得,用什麼都不要緊,備份最重要:)
無資金障礙,SCSI HD就灑下去吧(如果不怕吵的話),不然IDE也不會差太多阿:)

Thanks for your information about HDD performance.
I use P4P800 system with WD740 HDD...:D
Could you tell me the software that you test?

IOmeter by Intel. Don't you see?

RAID 0應該還是可以做ghost吧 難道在IDE RAID卡上不行??
我是有做過把做系統從兩顆SCSI RAID 0 ghost到一顆SCSI上
我也在想買TYAN 2885加雙OPTERON說 不過至少得花兩三萬....

Actually I just knew this software 5 seconds ago.....:D
anyway thanks.
